Title: Vehicle Body Door Latch Operator Arrangement
IPC: E05B65/24
Filed: 1969-02-20
Abstract: 1,184,038. Latch fastenings. GENERAL MOTORS CORP. 20 Feb., 1969 [27 Feb., 1968], No. 9236/69. Heading E2A. An operator arrangement for a vehicle body door latch includes a generally longitudinally movable and rotatable operator 30, a generally longitudinally movable member 26 for connection to a locking lever of the door latch for moving the locking lever between locking and unlocking positions and a coupling between the operator and the shiftable member which enables unitary longitudinal bodily movement of the operator and the shiftable member together in one rotational position of the operator relative to the shiftable member, and provides a loss motion connection between the operator and the member in another rotational position of the operator to permit generally longitudinal movement of the operator without moving the member. In the construction shown the coupling consists of a double headed abutment pin 38 which extends through the lower end portion of the operator 30 and slots in the shiftable member 26 which receives the end portion of the pin 38. The slots consists of a pair of vertical disposed slots 40 and a pair of circumferentially extending horizontal slots 42 each of which extends in the same rotated direction from the lower end portion of a respective one of the slots 40 thus when the pin is in the slots 40, the lost motion connection is provided between the operator and the member 26 whereas when the pin is in the slots 42 movement of the operator causes movement of the member 26. The member 26 is connected to the locking lever by a rod 22 which is connected to the member 26 by a pivot pin 24. The operator has a control button 28 connected to one end portion 30 and disposed on the sash 30 adjacent the lower end of the button is a plastic stop 48 which in use can engage the inner panel 36 of a door 12 to limit upward movement of the button before the shank of the pin 38 engages the other end of the slot 40; surrounding the member 26 is a spring 44 the upper end of which seats on a flange 46 of the member 26 and the lower end portion of which is hooked over the shank of the pin 38, the spring normally biassing the pin 38 downwardly within the slots 40 and counterclockwise within the slots 42 to hold the shank of the pin 38 at the junctures of the slots 40 and 42. From the depressed position of the button 24 upward movement of the button without rotation, only moves the pin 38 within the slot 40 by compressing the spring and thus the locking lever is not moved. To move the locking lever to its unlocking position the button 28 is' first rotated clockwise to dispose the pin 38 in the slots 42 after which upward movement of the button shifts the member 26 upwardly and with it the locking lever to unlocking position. When the button 28 is released the spring 44 rotates it and the operator so that the pin is disposed at the juncture of the solt and the button can then be depressed without first being rotated thereby to move the locking lever to the locking position.

Abstract: 435,770. Spray-producers. BROIDA, V., 17, Rue Fourcroy, Paris. March 27, 1934, No. 9578. [Class 69 (iii)] [See also Group XI] Liquid fuel is supplied by a pipe 11 to the conical end of a tube 12 mounted on ball bearings 13 in a sleeve 14 which is carried by a cylinder 6 supported by stays 8 centrally in the burner body 1. The conical end of the tube 12 is provided with internal inclined vanes 21 for guiding the oil and with external helical vanes 20 on which impinges compressed air supplied to the cylinder 6 through an inlet 9 fitted with a regulating shutter 10. The tube 12 is consequently rotated at a high speed and the oil is atomized and intimately mixed with the air as it enters the furnace. The partial vacuum caused by the combustion of the oil in the furnace draws secondary air through openings 3 at the rear of the burner body 1 and a rotary movement opposite to that of the primary air is communicated to the secondary air by fixed helical vanes 23 inclined approximately at 90‹ to the vanes 20. The openings 3 may be regulated by an adjustable apertured disc 4.

Title: Process for finishing wool and other nitrogenous textile mater als
IPC: D06M15/09
Filed: 1941-08-01
Abstract: 550,878. Finishing woollen and other nitogenous textile materials. SYLVANIA INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. Aug. 1, 1941. No. 9787. Convention date, Aug. 3, 1940. [Classes 15 (i) and 15 (ii)] Woollen and other nitrogenous textiles liable to damage by contact with alkali are treated with an alkaline solution or dispersion of an alkali-soluble water-insoluble cellulose ether and the alkali immediately thereafter neutralized. Materials to be treated include wool, mohair, fur, silk, hair, casein, albumen, and gelatin and also synthetic materials such as nylon, dimethylaminopropyl cellulose, cellulose xanthanilide and cellulose urethane. The cellulose ether may be a hydroxy-alkyl or a carboxy-alkyl or a mixed ether. Specified ethers are methyl, ethyl, and propyl cellulose, hydroxy-methyl, hydroxy-ethyl, and hydroxy-propyl cellulose. glycollic acid ethers of cellulose and salts of the glycolic acid ethers. Pigments, dyes, fillers and textile assistants may be added, and the dispersion may be applied in predetermined areas to form designs. For determining the length of time in which contact may take place between the material and the finishing composition a preliminary microscopic test is made to ascertain the time in which the fibre is adversely affected. Thus for finishing wool at 75‹C. with a composition comprising 6 parts cellulose ether and 94 parts of 6 per cent. sodium hydroxide, the time of contact should be no more than 15 seconds. Protective colloids such as starch, glue, or sulphite-lignum may be added to the finishing composition to retard the swelling action of the alkali. As coagulents solutions of organic or inorganic acids and acid salts, hot water or acid gases may be used. The treatment is stated to give high resistance to abrasion and laundering and also to impart a "cotton feel" to the wool or other material and thus to render wool non-irritant to the skin. The Figure shows an apparatus for carrying out the process. The fabric 10 is soaked on both sides by finishing solution from the compartment 13 and nozzle 15, and then passes between rollers 11, 12 into contact with acid carried up on the felt surface 26 of a roller 17 from a compartment 18 and sprayed from above by a nozzle 21. The finishing-solution and the coagulent are prevented from flowing along the fabric by rubber scrapers 16, 25. The fabric is drawn forward by rollers 19, 19<SP>1</SP> at a speed of from 5 to 25 yards per minute so that the time of contact with the finishing solution can be varied from ¢ to 15 seconds, and finally passes through washing tanks 22, 24.

Abstract: 1420720 Flushing fluid circuits e.g. milking plant ALFA LAVAL AB 5 March 1974 [7 March 1973] 9918/74 Heading F2N Dairy equipment or some other fluid circuit is cleaned by successively circulating different fluids through the circuit, the volume of each fluid being selected in dependence upon the volume of the circuit, each fluid being metered into a tank while the preceding fluid is circulating in the circuit, being introduced from the tank into the circuit while the preceding fluid is being discharged from the circuit and being circulated in the circuit while the succeeding fluid is being metered into the tank. As shown, the circuit comprises parts of milk processing plant C and of cleaning fluid plant A. Initially, cold water is released from tank 4 and circulated one or more times through line 7, heat exchanger 8, lines 9 and 3, flushing devices 2 in milk storage tank 1, and line 10. While the water is circulating, caustic soda solution is metered into tank 4 from supply 11 by pump 12, lines 13, 14 and 15 and flow meter 16. The circulating water is then drained at 22, 18, 26 and the caustic soda solution is introduced into the circuit and optionally heated at 8. At the end of this cycle, the caustic soda solution is returned to 11 and water at 70‹ C., supplied to tank 4 through valve 20 and heat exchanger 21 while the solution was circulating, is introduced into the circuit. When all of this water, which had been metered at 16, is introduced into the circuit, all of the caustic soda solution has necessarily been eliminated from the circuit and valve 22 is closed. The water may then be raised to 95‹ C. by heat exchanger 8. A number of cleanng liquids can thus be introduced. The last cleaning liquid, rinsing water, can after circulation be returned to tank 4, optionally with the aid of compressed air introduced via valve 25.
